Starting localstack fails - missing termios

Question

termios appears to be a Python module required for localstack. Installing on my Windows machine using pip fails. Further research reveals this is only available on UNIX systems. What is the Windows workaround? I prefer to not go the Docker route - hyperthreading issues if I remember correctly.

My current environment:

Windows 10 (64-bit)

make 3.79.1

python 3.6.1

pip 19.1

npm 5.6.0

java 1.8.0_211

javac 1.8.0_45

mvn 3.6.1

> python localstack start

Traceback (most recent call last): File "localstack", line 30, in from localstack.utils import cli File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\localstack\utils\cli.py", line 4, in from localstack.services import infra File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\localstack\services\infra.py", line 20, in from localstack.utils import common, persistence File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\localstack\utils\common.py", line 7, in import pty File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\pty.py", line 11, in import tty File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\tty.py", line 5, in from termios import * ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'termios'

Answer 1

You should use docker to install localstack. It is their preferred method. That said, if you download the Commandeer Desktop App, it has an install process that uses docker under the hood and has a nice UI for managing LocalStack.
